      Everyone on this post is literally going against the ref and Zahed, he denied the challenge brick because there’s an obvious singlet pull, he had a caution first half of the match but didn’t get on the clock for passivity, caution and passivity are one in hand they work together, he got his second caution which results in a point.

    Brooks did incredible in the final to over throw DT's dominant reign. But, I don't understand how refs can give points for nothing, this mans potential olympic dream was crushed because of your poor officiating. Having said that, I admire Zahid's determination to score with 6 seconds remaining. But he also made a poor decision cancelling his corners challenge, It was the next best decision to allow the challenge to expose such nonsense.

  • @BigBoyWoogie
    @BigBoyWoogie 22 дні тому +26

    The passivity warnings are some a bit too much. At 2:37 remaining in the 2nd the announcer praises Brooks for excellent defense after Valencia attack and less than 10 seconds later a warning is issued against Valencia.

    • @Culvey
      @Culvey 20 днів тому +1

      I absolutely agree, however with how the rules are written, if no points scored in 2minutes of a round, a passivity clock will be started. They called passivity on Brooks the first round. If no points scored in the 2nd round by the 2min mark, then it almost always goes to the wrestler it didn't go to in the first round unless there is some SERIOUS levels of passivity going on. This isn't a solid rule that it goes to the other wrestler, its more of an unwritten standard that everyone just follows.
      Its absolutely stupid and awards a wrestler for being passive in the 2nd after being passive in the first, but its also a standard that wrestlers and coaches know will happen, so its kind of something you expect to happen.

    • @HighPleasure

      From the rulebook. Passivity: penalty for not actively scoring points or attempting to score points. Any attempt to avoid wrestling -
      by blocking, by pushing, by going out of bounds, by “playing the edge” can be deemed to be passivity. In matches
      where neither athlete is scoring many points, passivity can be called to help stimulate scoring. Passivity is not to be
      confused with “fleeing. Zahid had not offensively scored any point in over 3.5 mins of action when he was put on the clock. Learn wrestling

    Refs been watching too much of Angel Hernandez and the match became all about him. I get it if the singlet was stretched and contributed to a disadvantage but there was nothing blatant about it. Even if you slow it down 1/4 speed, you cant see anything.

    That’s unfortunate that it was decided by a rules infraction BUT …………………..this is the OLYMPIC Trials! Athletes held to a higher standard and all that……………….so don’t blame the ref for sticking to the RULES. If you have a problem with it, then say the rules need to be changed! I commend Valencia for(eventually) throwing the brick back! He knew he had broken the rules and finished the match instead of trying to fight it. Good for him!

    This ref was dog shit from the opening whistle. What the actual fuck?
    The ref was looking for ways to get Brooks points the whole match.
    Not to mention, Brooks already had multiple cautions for passivity/stalling by the end of the match. The ref wanted to call ticky tacky bullshit against Valencia for a singlet grab, but doesn't call passivitiy on Brooks for back pedaling away and refusing to engage?
    The trials tournament had some of the worst reffing we've seen in a long time.

    For those saying Valencia got screwed, what about the first two points Brooks got, but was ruled as a step out. Then, Valencia does the exact same move & is awarded the points. Chalk up the one point for Brooks because Valencia "grabbed the singlet" as karma.🤷‍♂️

    This is why folk style wrestling should be the standard for scoring globally, internationally, and in Olympics. All these ridiculous extraneous calls, rulings, scorings, are confusing and inconsistently applied or understood.
    Come on wrestling. If you are going to try and build your sport. Get your shish together and unify the rules to a more user friendly experience for all.
    I couldn’t care less about this style of wrestling tbh. Guys are wrestling not to lose, it’s boring. Go folk style or bust.
